Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said that a new FBI director should revisit Hillary Clinton's private email use in light of James Comey's firing by President Donald Trump.

"It needs to be reevaluated not only under a new FBI director but under the new leadership of the Justice Department," Fitton told Tucker Carlson Thursday on Fox News. "Comey misdirected the investigation by suggesting they needed to prove intent when, in fact, common sense tells you that they mishandled it and knew what they were doing was wrong which is enough for a prosecution.

"It's gross negligence under the law." Fitton said. "The [Obama] Justice Department never wanted to have a serious investigation."

He added that "I still think she faces legal jeopardy.

"If the system is working, she still faces legal jeopardy," Fitton said. "The Justice Department under President Obama protected her.

"The FBI director repeatedly misstated the law suggesting they needed intent," he added. "They had plenty of intent."
